Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, including Algeria. Certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been linked to higher risk of BC. Several studies have been performed on the insulin- like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) T > C (rs7136446) and the interleukin 6 (IL-6) 174 G > C (rs1800795) SNPs to explore their role in BC. The aim of this study is to investigate...
